FAQs

Are these shoes true to size?

Yes, the adidas Originals Handball Spezial is designed to fit a standard foot shape regularly.

Can I use these for playing indoor sports?

While they were originally designed for handball in 1979, they are now intended for lifestyle and casual use.

How do I maintain the leather material?

Use a leather-safe cleaner and conditioner to maintain the suppleness of the material.

Does the insole come out?

The OrthoLite sock liner is designed for comfort and can typically be removed for cleaning or replacement.

What is the primary material used?

The upper is constructed from high-quality leather, and the sole is made from durable gum rubber.

Troubleshooting

The leather upper is showing scuffs.

Use a specialized leather conditioner or a clean, slightly damp cloth to gently buff out minor marks.

The interior feels tight after purchase.

Wear the trainers for short intervals to allow the leather to naturally stretch and conform to your foot.

Dirt stuck in the gum rubber tread.

Use a soft-bristled brush or a toothpick to carefully dislodge debris from the textured bottom of the sole.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longevity of your adidas Handball Spezial trainers, keep them away from harsh cleaning chemicals. Use a soft brush to remove loose dirt from the leather upper and a damp cloth for minor surface stains. The gum rubber soles can be wiped clean with a mild soap solution. For storage, keep them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent leather drying or discoloration. These shoes fit true to size, but since they are crafted with leather, they will slightly break in and mold to your foot shape after a few wears.
